The purpose of this page is to provide visitors with free ringtones based on science and math songs. It is very much
a work in progress, so please send suggestions to
Greg Crowther (crowther@u.washington.edu; 206-685-2857). In
particular, we're interested in hearing from users with previous experience in personalizing your phone's ringtone.
We understand that adding ringtones found on the web is not always easy, and we want to develop or link to detailed
instructions that will work for people with different cell phones and different carriers.

Selecting and Using Ringtone Files

Will the files listed below work on my phone? It depends on the phone. Older, simpler phones
tend not to let users use any of their own files as ringtones. For those with newer, fancier phones,
MP3 files can usually be used as is or converted to other needed formats
with relative ease; M4R files are for use by iPhones. All ringtones listed below are less than 30.0
seconds long to maximize their compatibility with various systems.

How do I download a ringtone file? Windows users should right-click on the desired link
and select "Save Target As..." or something similar (exact phrasing depends on the browser). Macintosh
users should control-click on the desired file and select "Download Link to Disk..." or something similar
(exact phrasing depends on the browser). The steps should be similar in other operating systems.

What do I do with the file once I've downloaded it? This is where the process gets tricky.
We're compiling a list of links to instructions for different types of phones, and we'll
share the list once it's a bit farther along.

Ringtone Files

Thanks to the recording artists listed below for their permission to distribute their song excerpts as ringtones. If you
are a musician and would like to have your own ringtones added to this page, please contact Greg
(crowther@u.washington.edu; 206-685-2857). You can
send us pre-trimmed song excerpts, or send us full-length songs for us to trim.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof.
If you want to have a way to judge the legend from the truth -- the real from the spoof --
you gotta think like a sleuth if you wanna be extraordinary.

I want to sing about science! 'Cause it's a method I can use to work things out.
And it's a process for reducing any doubt. I want to sing about science! I want to sing about science!
It's how I know that something isn't just a guess, 'Cause using science I can put it to the test.

Get your molecules movin', and pick up your feet.
Get your molecules movin', and then you got heat.
Get your molecules movin', and pick up the beat.
Get your molecules movin', can't just sit on your seat.

You can tell it's a cell by the way it looks
when it's under a microscope or in a book. It may be an animal or plant, it's true,
But I know it's a cell 'cause I see all the clues. You can tell. (Yeah, you can tell.)
You can tell it's a cell. (You can tell it's a cell.)
You can tell. (Yeah, you can tell.)
You can tell it's a cell. (You can tell it's a cell.)

Conduction, convection, radi-adi-ation.
These are all the ways that heat can move from a location.
Temperature's a risin', molecules are moving.
Heat will flow from hot to cold; it's really not confusing at all!

Hey Avogadro give me a mole. I need
just enough gas to fill a cubical hole.
It's got twenty two point four liters inside,
but for temperature and pressure you got to be my guide.
Avogadro, you got the number you see
You sayin' P V equals n R T.
Thanks Avogadro. (You got it.) Thanks Avogadro. (You got it.)

Kingdom phylum class and order, family genus species.
All those plants and mammals, all the birds and fishies.
Everything that flies and walks and all the things on leashes
are kingdom phylum class and order, family genus species.

Hooray for NMR spectroscopy! I love my magnet; it gives me spectra full of peaks,
And, with a standard, I'll find the numbers that I seek.
Consider this case: peak A is twice the size of B.
If B's the standard, then you know A's molari--

[Carl Sagan] The neurons store sounds too, and snatches of music.
Whole orchestras play inside our heads. 20 million volumes worth of information is inside the heads of every one of us.
The brain is a very big place in a very small space.

[Richard Dawkins] There is a new wave of reason sweeping across America, Britain, Europe, Australia,
South America, the Middle East and Africa. There is a new wave of reason where superstition had a firm hold. [Phil Plait] Teach a man to reason
and he'll think for a lifetime.

So you needin' a gene.
I can replicate it for you with my little machine.
So get Taq. (Get Taq.) Synthesize it like that.
Get Taq. (Get Taq.) Synthesize it like that.
I can copy and paste ya. Most polymerases'll get denatured.
Get Taq. (Get Taq.) Synthesize it like that.
